Kings Island
You know you are in for a good day, when your daughter holds up her deli round sandwich roll at Subway and shouts (yes, shouts) "My buns are big!"
Chad had the day off, and I did as well, we went to King's Island yesterday. It was a blast. Izzy and I rode several rollercoasters...can't wait until she is 48 inches and can go on the big rides! We even got Chad on the "Beastie" - which is now called The Fairly Odd Coaster.
It was hot, but thanks to my SPF 50 sunblock, we didn't get burned. Izzy made it the whole day without throwing a fit (Thank you!)
It's been ages since I've been there, and many things have changed, but some have stayed the same: The Eiffel Tower was cool, although it freaked Chad and Izzy out a little, being up so high; the Beast is still one of the best roller coasters in the world (You dinna' think I'd take a trip to KI and NOT ride the Beast, now did you?); LaRosa's pizza tastes the same; and everything costs about 250% more than it did 7 years ago.
Our favorites of the day, the Viking Fury - the ship that rocks back and forth, the Fairly Odd Coaster - oh, Izzy walked right past the little Kiddie rollercoaster - Backyardigans' themed, I think, and headed straight for the "big" one, and some of the older "carnival" style spinning rides.
More details as I remember them coming soon... I just can't wait to go back!

Friday Friday Friday
Howdy - It's Friday and the weather is beautiful, the air is fresh and I'm outside working on our new laptop - whoo hoo! The freedom! Now, hopfully, I can get motivated enough to keep up my writing.
I won't go into too much detail here, but for those that heard my "vent" last week at this time, let me assure you - all is taken care of, and things are back to normal, at least for this year. Whew!
I think tonight, we are going to the town's movie night in the park - free movies, bring your own lawn chair, like a drive in, but before cars!
And Now for Pickerington's Place New Feature!
You already know about the Daily Led Zeppelin, and What's on My Desktop.(Which does need updating - come to think of it.) The new one is partially inspired by an email I got this week; you know, one of those, answer the questions and send along so others can get to know you. It's also partially inspired by "Heather's Lunchtime Poll" made popular by the classic - Heathers.
So, here it is - The question of the week (I must admit, the braincells are not up to par today, so I'll have to ponder on another catchy title.)

What's the most exciting and the most boring thing you think you'll do this summer?

Give Me One Moment In Time
Our story begins today, but goes back many years. Today, my mother found a picture of the one "semi-formal" dance I went to my freshie year - turnabout, where the girls ask the guys. Join us on a trip down memory lane to visit places, places best left in the hidden recesses of memory.
Lisa and Dave before the dance, Lisa is wearing Gunne Sax, while Dave sports the sweater and tie ensemble.
Michelle and Scott (AKA He, as his name was too vile to speak.) Again, sweaters were very popular for dances (in hickville, not our school!)
Bill and Deeann - the organizers of the evening (insert evil master laugh!)
The obligatory pinning of the flower. Hair professionally rolled to look "old-fashioned."
The cast of 90210 (what a bunch of wannabes)
Cheesy guy shot -- they must be plotting something!
Mullett-man speaks, and reveals the plan to hit the road...
So into the '86 Chevy Astro we go!
"Stan, what a fine mess you got us into!"
Ahhh, the paparazzi won't leave us alone!
"So Beavis, where are we headed tonight?"
"Heh-heh-heh - your boobs look big in your sister's dress!"
Time to pose for the famous dance photo! (Wallet and 8X10 avaliable!)
